Works for Me

You’re probably familiar with the phrase ‘one size does not fit all’. That is certainly true of organizing. An organizing strategy may work wonders for one person, while the same strategy may have no impact on another. We all have our unique personalities, styles and traits that make each of us the individuals that we are. We also have our own characteristic habits and behaviors that are natural to our daily activities. It makes sense then, that those unique styles and traits influence our organizing style and preferences. So, how do you go about determining your organizing style? The descriptions below will help you find out. And while you may find yourself in lockstep with one particular style, you may also find you share some overlapping features among the other categories. The styles mentioned below provide broad or general descriptions without getting too deep into the weeds. There are, of course, a host of additional explanations that can add more complexity and create more layers to these categories. We’re going to keep it simple for now.
